A single-mass system with clearance and two springs is initially deflected. Determine the natural oscillations of the system - deflection, velocity, and acceleration time course.
This verification example is based on Verification Example 0122. A single-mass system without damping is subjected to an axial loading force. An ideal elastic-plastic material with characteristics is assumed. Determine the time course of the end-point deflection, velocity, and acceleration.
A single-mass system with dashpot is subjected to a constant loading force. Determine the spring force, damping force, and inertial force at the given test time. In this verification example, the Kelvin--Voigt dashpot (namely, a spring and a damper element in serial connection) is decomposed into its purely viscous and purely elastic parts, in order to better evaluate the reaction forces.
A single-mass system with dashpot is subjected to constant loading force. Determine the deflection and velocity of the dashpot endpoint in the given test time.
The mathematical pendulum consists of a zero‑weight rope and a mass point at its end. The pendulum is initially deflected. Determine the angle of the rope at the given test time.
A structure is made of two trusses, which are embedded into the hinge supports. The structure is loaded by concentrated force. The self-weight is neglected. Determine the relationship between the loading force and the deflection, considering large deformations.
